VILLAGE CLERK VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS CONSOLIDATED PLAN 1997 For the planning period of January 1, 1997 thru December 31, 1997 and includes the Village of Mount Prospect Community Development Block Grant Fiscal Year 1997 application Prepared By: Michael Sims, Planner Community Development Department Village of Mount Prospect Tel: (847) 392-6000 Ext. 5313 Citizen Participation Citizen Participation Process: The process of developing this Annual Plan began with a public hearing before the Plan Commission on July 17, 1996 (Attachment A). The purpose of the hearing was to obtain input from the public, including organizations and individuals, on the housing, community development and social service needs of Mount Prospect residents. A public notice was displayed in the Mount Prospect Journal and Topics Newspaper on June 21, 1996 announcing the meeting (Attachment B). Letters were also mailed to 20 service organizations asking them to participate in the process (Attachment C). Other public hearings were held on October 2, 1996 (Attachment D) and October 23, 1996 (Attachment E) to seek public input and a recommendation from the Plan Commission on the Annual Plan and Community Development Block Grant application. These hearings were advertized in the Mount Prospect Journal on September 20, 1996 (Attachemtn F) and on October 11, 1996 (Attachment G) in the Mount Prospect Daily Herald. A copy of the minutes from these hearings has also been included in this plan. A f'mal notice was printed on October 5, 1996 in the Mount Prospect Daily Herald which summarized the proposed Annual Plan (Attachment H), identified three locations where it could be reviewed and noted that comments regarding the plan could be sent to the Planning Division Offices in Village Hall. No comments were received. On November 6, 1996 the Village Board reviewed the 1997 Annual Plan and voted 5/0 in favor of approving the plan as submitted (Attachment I). There was no effort to expand the citizen participation process used during the 1997 Consolidated Plan process since it had already promoted full participation from the public. Strategy Implementation: As noted in HUD's Consolidated Plan instruction manual, the purpose of this section is to present priorities for the investment of private and public funds in housing and services. These priorities are based on the needs identified in the Community Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan. The public funds will be received under the National Affordable Housing Act. These priorities are designed to compliment the Comprehensive Plan of the Village of Mount Prospect, assist residents in finding decent and affordable housing in all residential areas of the Village, address the needs of special populations in the community and carry out the purposes and meet the goals of the Act. The Village's priority analysis and development strategy calls for all resources to be available village-wide and among all eligible residents within the Village. A priority should be made for serving low and very low income elderly and large families as well as special populations of the homeless or near homeless. Mount Prospect has identified priority needs it will address in the next year based on the data and needs documented in the Community Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan. These are: assisted senior citizen rental housing, special housing needs of the elderly, housing for first time home buyers and employees working in Mount Prospect, assisted rental housing and housing for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled and help qualified agencies operate and open transitional housing units in Mount Prospect. The strategy for the implementation of each follows. Assisted Senior Citizen Rental Housing with Rental Assistance, Senior Housing Rehabilitation Assistance and Subsidized Rental Assistance: This priority was noted after a review of housing needs shown in the Three Year HAP of 1988, Five Year CHAS of 1991, CHAS public hearing testimony and 1990 Census documents. The Census reported a considerable increase in the elderly population over the age of 60 in Mount Prospect, from 11.38% of the population in 1980 to 17.64% in 1990 and that 675 elderly renters in 1990 had incomes below 30% of median income. Priority_ 1: To provide new construction housing for elderly low income residents. Very low-income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low- income (51% to 80 % of MFI) - Elderly. One Year Results: Identify site for 75 units of new Section 202 or similar program units with a Section 8 Set a Side or promote other housing suitable for senior citizen use. Institutional Capacity: Village staff asked Catholic Charities to submit an application for a Section 202 subsidized senior housing development in the Village of Mount Prospect for elderly Mount Prospect eligible residents in 1992. The application was approved by HUD and a Section 202 fund reservation made for the project. Catholic Charities was unable to use the fund reservation in Mount Prospect as a result of their losing their option on the selected site. Mount Prospect is still interested in supporting a Section 202 application but has not identified a satisfactory site for the development. Village C.D.B.G. funds may be used to assist in this project. Service agencies and organizations will be utilized in providing needed services to residents. If Section 202 project regulations are found to be not practical for the development of a senior citizen housing development, other funding sources may be utilized. Priority 2: To address the special needs of elderly low income and very low income residents in various housing sett'mgs. Very low- income (0% to $0% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - Elderly. ? One Year Results: 5 units of newly created shared senior housing. 12 units of rehabilitated senior and other homes. $ units of Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payment. Institutional Capacity: The Resource Center for the Elderly operates a shared housing program and the Resources for Community Living personnel are operating a shared housing program for the mentally ill and disabled. Village staff works with these agencies in promoting these housing activities. Mount Prospect's C.D.B.G. program has offered housing rehabilitation loans and subsidies for the past 15 years and will continue to offer these to very low and low income resident, including elderly homeowners. The Housing Authority of Cook County will continue to administer the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program in the Village. If additional vouchers certificates become available, the Village expects eligible Mount Prospect senior residents to apply for them. First Time Low Income Homebuyers Assistance: As was noted in the Community Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan, it is becoming increasing difficult for low income residents to buy and live in owner occupied housing in Mount Prospect. The Village of Mount Prospect believes that workers whose jobs are in the Village should be able to find affordable housing in Mount Prospect. Priority_ 3: To provide housing opportunities for first time low income home buyers. Examples of the housing problem can be found in the Commumty Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan. Low- income (51% to 80% of MFI) All renting households. One Year Results: Assist 5 households in becoming first time homebuyers. Institutional Capacity: Funding would come from the Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME). In 1997, Mount Prospect intends to apply for funding for a first time homebuyer program. Funding availability is critical to achieving this priority. C.D.B.G. funds may be used to bring project homes up to Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and Village Code. Local banks have become involved in the general affordability issue and may be asked to participate. The Village has been successful in providing a Mortgage Credit Certificate activity to new first time homebuyers. This program is administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority and offers a federal tax credit incentive. Rental Assistance for Very_ Low Income and LOw Income Residents: High market rate rents in Mount Prospect and the northwest suburbs often renders rental housing for very low income and low income residents unaffordable. One way to bridge the affordability gap is through the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payments Program. While the program is independently administered by the Housing Authority of Cook County, the Village of Mount Prospect must take an active role in monitoring the impact of the Section 8 Program on the community. This monitoring should take the form of (1) educating property owners and managers about the rights and obligations of landlord and tenants under the program and (2) working with the Housing Authority of Cook County to insure that over concentrations of low income households do not occur in either neighborhoods or geographic areas of the Village. Another potential source of rental assistance payments is the Federal HOME Program. Priority 4: To promote the responsible use of financial rental assistance programs throughout the Village for Mount Prospect residents. Very Iow-income (0% to 50% of MF1) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - All renting households. One Year Results: Work closely with the Housing Authority of Cook County in the management of tenant based voucher and certificate programs for Iow income and very low income Mount Prospect renters. Institutional Capacity: Mount Prospect has contact with and knowledge of all rental properties in its corporate boundaries through the licensing requirements of the Landlord / Tenant Ordinance. Staff will contact rental property owner's or managers and inform them of the rules and regulations governing participation in the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payments Program. C.D.B.G. funds may be used in connection with private fimds to help rehabilitate selected rental units. Housing for the Mentally Ill/HomeleSs or near Homeless: The local National Alliance for the Mentally Ill organization has indicated a need for group homes over the next couple of years and is pursuing several funding sources to finance these homes. The Village Board has approved a Little City group home. Additional support may be needed to rehabilitate the selected properties for appropriate use by the occupants. Special services will need to be provided. Similar needs have been identified for the developmentally disabled. The need for this housing and associated services was discussed in the Community Profile section of the 1995 Consolidated Plan. Area agencies serving the homeless and near homeless are reporting an increased number of persons needing transitional housing and services. Priority_ 5: To provide financial assistance in the purchase or rehabilitation of housing for the mentally ill and/or the developmentally disabled. Very low-income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI)-All mentally ill. One Year Results: Assist the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill or sim'tar organizations upon request with the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a residential home for use as a community residence for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled.. Institutional Capacity: Mount Prospect intends to assist the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill or other qualified organization with the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a home in Mount Prospect to be used as a supervised community residence for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled. Funding for the project may be from Mount Prospect's C.D.B.G. funds, the State of Illinois Mental Health Department, corporate donations, HUD's Section 811 program or other appropriate sources. Priority 6: To assist qualified agencies in providing transitional housing to residents with an emphasis on providing self-sufficiency skills in a case management or other appropriate management style. Very low- income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - All homeless residents. One Year Results: Assist qualified agencies in applying for financing and obtaining other assistance in operating and/or opening transitional housing units in Mount Prospect. Such assistance could include a grant from the C.D.B.G. program. Institutional Capacity: CEDA-Northwest, WINGS and other agencies have experience in successfully operating transitional housing activities. FEMA-Emergency Shelter Grants and other funds may also be utilized by such agencies and should be supported by the Village. It should be noted that the above indicated priorities will have a positive effect in meeting housing affordability needs in Mount Prospect, and some may have a positive effect on the needs of the homeless and near homeless. Other Actions: Public Policies: The high cost of Mount Prospect's housing is primarily due to it's location in the Greater Chicago Area, close proximity to major highway systems and O'Ham International Airport, and the availability of the Chicago Northwestern Commuter Rail System that links Mount Prospect to the Chicago Loop. Staff has reviewed Village development requirements and believes, on a whole, they do not pose major impediments to achieving affordable housing. Even so, Mount Prospect is actively involved in finding ways to address the housing affordability issue. For example, the Village's Zoning Ordinance was amended to permit households of up to 8 persons with developmental disabilities, and paid staff, to occupy a single dwelling unit. Mount Prospect also updated its Zoning and Development Codes. The Zoning Ordinance, as amended, created, among other things, a new Downtown zoning district which permits mixed uses. This change should create new affordable housing units in an area that has a low concentration of low income households. There are no pending tax or fee increases anf~cipated by the Village. Development Code fees were increased this past year for the first time since 1984. Public Housing Resident's Pro.iect Involvement: The two senior citizen housing projects in Mount Prospect, Centennial Apartments and Huntington Towers Apartments, represent the only federally assisted housing here. Both are privately owned well managed and the Village sees no benefit to the residents in their becoming involved in their own management or in a homeownership program. There are no public housing projects in Mount Prospect. Institutional Structure: Mount Prospect will apply for and administer activities funded under a federal CDBG Entitlement Program. It will also seek funding for a first-time homebuyers program. Funding for the first time homebuyers program may be sought from local lending institutions, unobligated industrial bonding, and either the State of Illinois or Cook County's HOME Program. Please refer to the institutional structure narrative included in each priority noted above. They explain how each activity will be carried out as well as problems that may be encountered. Public Housing Improvements / Public Housing Resident Initiatives: Mount Prospect has no public housing units and thus will not have any public housing improvement programs or public housing resident initiatives. Lead Based Paint Hazard Reductions: During the coming year, staff will continue to require all loose paint, under the Village's housing rehabilitation loan programs, be removed and either covered or repainted. We will also provide public information and education on the problem with lead based paint and the measures to be taken to reduce risk and protect health. Anti-Poverty Strategy: The Village's anti-poverty strategy is based on an objective of the decentralization of low- income households, the provision of services and the continuation of a strong local economy. Implementation will come from the Village's belief that low and very-low income residents should be encouraged to live and work throughout Mount Prospect. It will encourage all six priority programs noted above be distributed evenly in all neighborhoods. Each priority activity should have supportive services so participating households can climb out of poverty. These services have previously been described in this document. Finally, Mount Prosect is taking formal steps to maintain and improve its economic health, Two years agoit created an Economic Development Commission which is designed to promote and support local economic growth. It is our belief that these previously identified housing and service programs will measurably reduce the number of households living below the poverty line by as many as 20 households. This reduction will help free up affordable housing units as these households move into market rate housing. Coordination Efforts: During the process of preparing this report, Village staff contacted by mail or phone all the organization it knew were interest in affordable housing issues and asked them to participate in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan. Village staff also discussed with area local governments a number of affordable housing issues and will continue to dialog with them on such issues. Summary of Citizen Comments: Village staff has not received any citizen comments other than those received during the public hearing process. Accompanying this section are the minutes from those public hearings. Village staff will seek to encourage further citizen participation using the processes used in developing this plan. Lead Agency: The Village of Mount Prospect's Community Development Department Planning Division is the lead agency responsible for the development of this Annual Plan. Participating Groups and Individuals: The following groups and individuals participated in the Annual Plan process: Suburban Primary Health Care Inc., Resources for Community Living, Resource Center for the Elderly, Girl Scouts411inois Crossroads Council Inc., Village of Mount Prospect Human Services Department, CEDA-Northwest, River Trails Park District, Camp Fire Boys and Girls-Metropolitan Chicago Council, Mount Prospect Historical Museum, the Mount Prospect Plan Commission and Village Board. Others asked to participate were Catholic Charities, WINGS (Shelter), Mount Prospect Park District, National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities, Northwest Housing Partnerships, Northwest Community Services Inc. and the Mount Prospect Library. Consultation with Social Service Agencies: Agencies were invited to attend a meeting with the Plan Commission and discuss the housing and service needs of residents. See the July 17, 1996 meeting minutes of the Plan Comission. Citizen Participation Process: See the first page of the plan. Identification of Leveraged Additional Resources: Federal resources to be used to leverage other funds may include C.D.B.G. funds, Section 202 funds, HOME funds, Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments and FEMA-Emergency Shelter Grants. Other funds could include private homebuyers downpayments, private home improvement funds and matching fund participation from lenders and the Village of Mount Prospect for the HOME Program. Geographic Distribution of Activities: The Street Improvement Program, funded under the C.D.B.G. program, is targeting the CT 8050.02 Block Group 4 neighborhood because of the need for street lighting and because 49.17% of the households have low or moderate incomes. Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities: The P.A.D.S. organization will continue to provide shelter and meals to the homeless in Mount Prospect. The Mount Prospect Human Services Department will continue to provide aid and assistance to the near homeless to help them remain independent. The needs of special populations within Mount Prospect will be served by agencies designed to address their needs. Other Actions: Mount Prospect is continually seeking information from its residents on their needs and wants. Its Visions Committee reviews the needs and problems in lower income areas monthly and creates programs and activities to meet those needs. Recently the Village hired additional code enforcement staff to improve housing conditions and last year hired a full time social worker who is fluent in spanish. Keeping a high number of good rental units will increase competition in the rental housing market and keep rents competitive and affordable. The Community Development Department is actively seeking new businesses for Mount Prospect. Last year U.S. Robotics agreed to move here. They plan on hiring up to 3,000 employees when construction on their site is completed. These efforts should help reduce the number of poverty level families while keeping the cost of housing affordable. The Annual Plan citizen participation planning process enhances the coordination between public and private housing providers by providing an avenue for communication and cooperation. Program Income: To date, for fiscal year 1996, Mount Prospect has received $77,857.40 in C.D.B.G. program income. The total amount of program income received during the ' 1996 fiscal year will be reported in Mount Prospect's 1996 Grantee Performance Report. The Village's policy on program income, which is received from the repayment of housing rehabilitation loans, is to use it to fund new housing rehabilitation applications. Mapping of Mentor Program: This program is not shown on the project map because it operates in the same areas as the Boxwood Advocacy and New Horizons Programs. I have placed a note on the project map addressing this issue. Project ID and Local Code Numbers: The project ID numbers are in random order. The project numbers assigned by Mount Prospect follows an a general order used in previous Grantee Performance Reports. The order begins with public services activities, continues with housing rehabilitation, architectural barrier and public facilities improvements and concludes with program administration. Funding of Homeless Activities: The 1990 Census counted very few homeless individuals in Mount Prospect. It did not count the near homeless. The transitional housing activity being funded by the C.D.B.G. program address this need. Homeless Tables in the Five Year Consolidated Plall - Youth: The Table on homeless populations shows there were 5 persons in homeless families, 31% of these were children. There were no homeless children not in families. MONITORING PLAN Mount Prospect will perform semi-annual reviews of all Mount Prospect C:D.B.G. sub- recipients. These will include collecting data on the number of residents receiving services and a visit to their particular programs. A written report will be fried noting the results of the review. Staff will also request annual reports from the Housing Authority of Cook County on their progress in providing Section 8 and other assistance in Mount Prospect. Staff may assist the PHA in encouraging Mount Prospect residents in applying for the Section 8 program. A report from the Village will also be prepared on the progress of it's Section 202, HOME or other National Affordable Housing Act activities. 10/09/96 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 20:50:17 CPD Consolidated Plan System Listing of Priority Needs Priority Need Level Est.

OLD BUSINESS None Plan Commission Minutes Page 2 NEW BUSINESS Chairman Protem Louie Velasco opened the public hearing for the Fiscal Year 1997 Consolidated Plan proposals at 7:40 p.m. Mr. Sims explained the purpose of the public hearing was to receive comments and proposals regarding MountProspect's Fiscal Year 1997 Consolidated Plan. This plan will include proposals for Fiscal Year 1997 Community Development Block Grant activities. Ms. Linnea Pioro, Campfire Boys and Girls Program, explained that the agencies New Horizon's activities draw children from Mount Prospect Place Apartments, Alpine Apartments and the Pickwick area. New Horizons' activities include meetings with other clubs from Lake, Cook and McHenry Counties, and trips to Ravinia and Wrigley Field. In Fiscal Year 1997 the Club intends to add a new "teens in action" activity and will have from 80 to 100 children participating. Child registration cost normally includes a $9.00 program fee and $3.00 membership fee. The $9.00 program fee is funded by the C.D.B.G. Program. Mr. Boege asked ff the Campfire Boys and Girls are charged for using RecPlex. Ms. Pioro stated the agency does pay RecPlex fees.

Ms. Stephanie Parker presented a proposal for a Senior Shared Housing activity. This activity is provided by the Resource Center for the Elderly.. Ms. Parker reported that last year the Agency had 30 inquiries for senior shared hous'.mg, 16 assessments, conducted 8 match visits, made 2 matches and maintained 5 ongoing housing matches. The Resource Center for the Elderly is currently evaluating five additional matches. This activity provides the homeowner with additional income, which many times is needed in order for the homeowner to afford staying in their home. Individuals moving into the home are normally charged $275 to $375 per month for this affordable housing. The Agency does require a match agreement be signed by all parties and periodically monitors the match. Run Jordan, Social Worker from CEDA Northwest, presented a proposal for a Transitional Living Program for families. Mr. Jordan explained the many elements of the program, including budget, employment and housing counseling services. Most clients receive services for four months. Clients are required to save 30% of their income over this period. The program monitors clients one year after they have left the program. This monitoring shows that 85% to 88% of the clients are able to live independently without further assistance.

ROLL CALL Present upon Roll Call: June Richards Louis Velasco Michael HoiYman Carol Tortorello Frank Beege Marshall Ponzi Angela Volpe William Reddy Absent: Edwin Janus Village Staff Present: Daniel Ungerleider Michael E. Sims APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Mr. Hoffman, seconded by Ms. Tortorello, to approve the minutes of September 4, 1996. The minutes were approved by a vote of 7-0. Mr. Boege abstained since he was not present at the meeting. SUBDMSIONS None COMMITTEE REPORTS: Comprehensive Plan Committ~ Mr. Hoffman reported that the Village Board discussed the Rand Road Corridor Study during their recent Committee-of-the-Whole meeting on September 24, 1996. The Village Board will consider hiring a traffic consultant to work with and an Ad- hoc Advisory Committee to implement the study. The estimated cost of the traffic consultant will be between $30,000 and $100,000. Mr. Ungerleider reported that staff is proposing that $100,000 be budgeted for 1997. Mr. Hof£man added that the Village Board directed staff to draft minor changes to Item 5-6 of the Action Plan. The Village Board asked that staff ensure that the Rand Road Study address the importance of a bike path system within the corridor. NEW BUSINESS Chairman Ponzi asked the Commission if the 610-616 ShaBoNee Trail Condominium Conversion item could be addressed at this time. There being no objection, Chairman Ponzi asked Mr. Ungerleider to present the case. Mr. Ungerleider distributed material regarding the condominium conversion, explained the project and described why it needs Plan Commission approval. He explained that this condominium conversion is not required to meet the Village's Condominium Plan Commission Minutes Page 2 Sales Code given that it has only four units. He stated staff is ready to recommend approval of the condominium conversion. Mr. Ungerleider explained that the Village Code addresses condominium conversion and sales in two separate sections; the Development Code and the Condominium Sales Code. The petitioner had received a copy of the Condominium Sales Code when he originally inquired about the Village condominium conversion process. This Condominium Sales Code specifies that properties having four units or less are not required to comply with the requirements of that chapter. The Condominium Sales Code does not provide any reference to the Development Code and its related requirements. Therefore, the petitioner did not anticipate having to apply for Village approval of the plat of survey for the conversion. Chairman Ponzi asked if the project is in compliance with all codes. Mr. Ungerleider said the non-conforming use section of the Zoning Ordinance makes the existing use legal. The exterior of the property will be owned by the Condominium Association. Only the interior of the units are being sold. The petitioner, Jim DiVono of Streamwood Ventures, explained that he was given information regarding the condominium conversion process, applied and received permits, has upgraded plumbing, electrical, roof and installed new siding. The requirement for Village Board approval of a plat of survey was discovered at the final inspection process. The owner had one closing scheduled for October 26, 1996. The closing could not occur without Village approval. He explained that he is still in the process of making improvements on the individual units. Given the plumbing system is shared throughout the building, the units canm~t be sold as fee simple. Chairman Ponzi asked if a sign was placed on the property. Mr. Ungerleider stated no notice is required. Mr. Velasco moved that the condominium at 610-616 ShaBoNee be approved. The motion was seconded by Ms. Volpe. The motion passed by a vote of 5-3. Fiscal Year 1997 C.D.B.G. Budget Hearing Chairman Ponzi opened the public hearing at 8:40 p.m. and asked Mr. Sims to discuss any outstanding issues. Mr. Sims began by stating that each proposal was discussed earlier at a Plan Commission meeting and that the September 20, 1996 memorandum addressed questions asked at that meeting. He added that the $50,000 recommended for the 1997 sidewalk project is for installing handicap accessible ramps at intersections and that the $40,000 recommended for the 1997 street light project is for installing street lights on Hunt Club Drive, from Golf Road to Huntington Commons. The Commission asked for an explanation of the estimated $100,000 that will be available. Mr. Sims stated the Village has received $77,875 in rehab loans to date. Staff expects that amount to increase to $100,000 by the end of the year fi.om the repayment of rehab loans. Mr. Sims noted the total public service expenditure recommended by staff is $58,550. The Plan Commission Plan Commission Minutes Page 3 conf~rrned that Village policy is to utilize repaid rehab loan funds for further housing rehabilitation activities. Mr. Boege moved that the proposed 1997 C.D.B.G. Budget submitted by staffbe approved~ The motion was seconded by Ms. Volpe and passed by a vote of 8-0. Transfer of C.D.B.G. Funds from Northwest Community Service Pro_m-am m the Mentor Pro,am Mr. Sims explained that the Mentor Program is seeking an additional $250 in fiscal year 1997 from the C.D.B.G. Program. The Program Administrator, April Foley, stated in her memorandum of September 18, 1996 that the operating costs for the program were higher than originally expected. This was due to a summer component not included in the original grant appr~cation. Mr. Sims explained that funds are available from the Northwest Comm~mity Services contract since this Agency is no longer in operation. Mr. Bcege made a motion, seconded by Ms. Richards, to approve the transfer of $250 from the C.D.B.G. Northwest Services Account to the Mentor Program account. The motion passed by a vote of 8-0. Mr. Sims informed the Commission that staff has been unable to verify the amount of C.D.B.G. funds that will be available to the Village of Mount Prospect in 1997. He asked how the Plan Commission would like to handle any variation in the expected dollar amount for the coming year. The Commission asked the administration to come back to the Plan Commission if there is a variation of more than $10,000. Any variation within the $10,000 limit should be adjusted with the Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program account.
